Vistra Corp has achieved a milestone by becoming the first utility stock to lead the S&P 500 since 2001, boasting an impressive 264% annual gain. This surge is attributed to the rising demand for power driven by the growth of artificial intelligence and data centers, alongside increasing acceptance of nuclear energy as a clean energy source. Vistra's performance has surpassed notable tech stocks like Nvidia, and has sparked interest in independent power producers in the utility sector.
